Astronaut Katy Perry.......

They should read the room.

The ACLU just upped the ante. They just added persecution to the conversation.

We are literally a hop skip and a jump away from war crimes aren't we?

Sorry, I put that last post on the wrong thread. I have reported it.

Not sure what you mean Mae13.

A wealthy passenger, certainly no astronaut

I like the astronaut outfits!

🥱🥱🥱

Why not? I bet it was an amazing experience, and her fare contributed to the cost of the mission. Good for her I say.

Their money, their choice 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

........er, like who?

Have you never heard of Katy Perry? My granddaughter is a big fan.

🎶 You’re Gonna Hear Me Roar 🎶

This in today’s Telegraph made me laugh!

I don't know why some GN's post "who" about well known personalities, quite possibly you haven't heard of them. In this age of technology, you only have to Google their name and KP has a big enough profile to find out who she is. There is another who will go on RIP threads with that inane "who" if you don't know who the person is/was what's the point of adding that. Maybe labouring under the misapprehension to do so is being witty.

In Mae13's case l think it's to prompt provoke the maximum response. The success rate is generally high 😉

Love it!!

😆
It's all in the French papers too!

She was married to Russell Brand for a couple of years

Personally, I am not sure how I feel about one of the richest men in the world paying for 7 women, chosen for their looks and desirability, in specially designed body flattering space suits to take a short trip into the sky as the optimal hen night for his fiancee.

Speaks to me more of very rich men jockeying for position in a male pecking order, in competition with Musk et al. both on technology and being able to collect together 7 women to take the ride. A bit like a harem.

M0nica Katy Perry paid for her seat on this trip the deposit alone was $150,000.

I assume the others also paid, though I doubt Jeff Bezos fiancé had to…

The Telegraph have it right fgt

Well if you have the money, why not?
Only lasted a short while but what an experience.

Well it has certainly raised the bar in the modern trend of expensive OTT hen parties.

I feel much the same way as MOnica.
Additionally that it’s an obscene waste of money and resources contributing to the destruction of our planet.

When I saw the headlines and photo of the women my immediate response was WOW what women these must be, what a triumph for women in STEM, brilliant role models...I'm glad I've lived long enough to see this day.

Then I read on and had the most appalling heart sink.

Also agree with MaizieD on an obscene waste of money and resources contributing to the destruction of our planet.

Children starving and one of the richest men on earth is playing with this willy waving nonsense. Reminds me of that quote, "The wrong Amazon is on fire".

There was a former NASA rocket scientist on board, Aisha Bowe along with Amanda Nguyen a bioastronautics research scientist.

Along with Katy Perry the other two were Lauren Sanchez, who is Jeff Bezos fiancé and Kerianne Flynn a movie producer.

If this short flight gets more girls interested in STEM good on them. Like I posted up thread their money their choice

As for destroying the planet MaizieD how about our present government offshoring the manufacture of solar panels, wind turbines along with importing coking fuel in order for them to claim they are on the way to Net Zero?

The U.K. just moving its carbon emissions around the world…
